"Bizarre" reshuffle makes Government more dysfunctional

William Hague has slammed Mr. Brown’s “bizarre” reshuffle and accused him of demonstrating a “stunning failure of judgement”.

The Shadow Foreign Secretary said, “In bringing back Peter Mandelson – the man who created Labour spin – he has broken his promise to govern in an honest and open way.”

And he stressed that Brown had shown his weakness by leaving in place “a Chancellor who has failed and a Foreign Secretary who has undermined him at every opportunity”:

“With this bizarre reshuffle the Prime Minister has achieved the impossible and made the Government even more dysfunctional.”
